Resting my head on Helen’s shoulder, I put my arms round her waist (腰). She drew me to her, and we rested in silence.
We had not sat long before another person came in.
Some heavy clouds, swept from the sky by a rising wind, had left the moon bright and her light, coming in through a window near, shine full both on us and on the coming person, Miss Temple.
“I came on purpose to find you, Jane Eyre,” said she. “I want you in my room, and as Helen Burns is with you, she may come too.” We followed Miss Temple to her apartment. It had a good fire, and looked cheerful. Miss Temple told Helen Burns to be seated in a low arm-chair on one side of the fire place, and herself taking another, she called me to her side.
“Is it all over ” she asked, looking down at my face. “Have you cried your sadness away ”
“I am afraid I never shall do that.”
“Why ”
“Because I have been wrongly accused (指责), and you and everybody else, will now think me a bad girl.”
“We shall think you what you prove yourself to be, my child. Continue to act as a good girl, and you will satisfy us.”
“Shall I, Miss Temple ”
“You will,” said Miss Temple, “You have been accused of lying when you were little. Tell us the truth, but add nothing and exaggerate (夸大) nothing.”
I made up my mind that I would be most modest and most correct. Having thought for a few minutes about where to start, I told her all the story of my sad childhood.
